If I knew how to do that, I would do this. But...

...as I do not know how to create a Portfile, I just have to hope
someone else builds one.

Is there a way to contact the maintainer of a portfile directly?

I thought it would be nice to have a APP-Package for, say, scribus, like
there is for gimp. To be able to start it via mouse click. But I didnt
know how to contact the guy maintaining the scribus port.
